Memorandum Date: March 1, 2024 To: Honorable Chair and Planning Commission Members From: Mark Statz, PE Î City Administrator/Engineer Subject: Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) st Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) for 21 Avenue South No Rise Certificate Application Recently, questions surrounding the interpretation of the cityÓs zoning code have highlighted some deficiencies in existing language. In some cases, the language could have been more detailed or clear. In others, there were seemingly conflicting passages. Still others appeared to just be typos. The purpose of this public hearing and discussion is to work towards a clean-up of as many of these issues as we can. Issue 1 Î Table of Allowed Uses Multi-Family Uses th While reviewing a building permit for 7353 20 Avenue (existing home being converted to a duplex), staff noticed that the newly approved zoning (R2A) did not allow ÐSingle- Family attached dwellings with up to two dwelling units per buildingÑ. On this line in the Table of Allowed Uses, it shows a ÐPÑ in the R2 District, but not in the R2A District. This is clearly a typo, as the purpose of the R2A is to support duplex style development. This style of development is and has not been allowed, historically, in the R2 zone. Staff is recommending that the P for the ÐSingle-Family attached dwellings with up to two dwelling units per buildingÑ use category be moved from the R2 column to the R2A column as has always been intended. Mixed Use Residential A use category labeled ÐSingle-family attached or detached dwellings where in combination with multi-family dwellings on the development property meet the district density goalÑ is show as a allowed use via PUD in the R3 district. However, this use would also be compatible with the M1 and M2 districts, as a PUD. Staff recommends adding a ÐPUDÑ designation in the M1 and M2 district columns for this use category.
